State of New Hampshire
Stratford County ss
On this Second day of August A. D. 1837 personally appeared before the courts of Common Pleas held at Gilford in said County of Stratford, Catherine Lowell a resident of Gilford in the County of Stratford and State of New Hampshire aged seventy seven years, who, being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on her oath, make the following other declaration, in order to obtain the benefits of the provision made by the acts of Congress passed July 4. 1836, and the Acts explain- atory of said Acts, passed March 3 rd 1837, — That she was married to Thomas Strohmeyer Strohmeyer lately deceased A. D. 1775, who was a private in the War of the Revolution, I think in Captain Dearborn's Company in May or June 1775. I think from Gilmanton or Manchester N. H. and was in Bunker Hill Battle, and sometime in the latter parts of the year 1775, he went through the Kennebec woods with Arnold the traitor in in said Dearborn's Company to Quebec, and then he was there at the time Gen. Montgomery

was slain and that he returned home to Manchester. N. H. I think the first of September 1776.
He enlisted again in the summer of 1777, I believe for three or four months, and went to New York and was present at the taking of Burgoyne's army, I do not remember not know any names of Officers, and have no documents or discharges of his services to present to the War department, neither do I know of any living witness who was out with him, and very probably his name may be found on the war records, and probably the only one by the name of Preshack on the records as he was a native of England and came to the United States a few years before the war of the Revolution — that she was married to the said Thomas Preshack on the twenty eighth day of November in the year eighteen hundred and thirty six; that husband, the aforesaid Thomas Preshack died on the third day of October, eighteen hundred and five; that she was afterwards married to Jonathan Leavitt who died on the twentieth day of November eighteen hundred twenty seven, and that she was a widow on the 14th July 1836, and still remains a widow as will more fully appear by reference to the proof hereto annexed.

births, none on the Town records, nor of the marriage of Frohawk and his wife. — I have examined the Town rec. of Meredith with the Town Clerk — I have taken the affidavits of Daniel Frohawk in the case and have full belief in his testimony being a man well known to me for truth and veracity. — I now state to you the names and births of the Frohawk children that their their Mother (Mrs. Leavitt) gave me verbally on the 8 th instants (to wit) Hannah Frohawk born Nov. 16 th 1777, being twelve days short of a year after her marriage, Solomon born August 20 th 1779, Nancy June 14 th 1781, Jonathan August 14 th 1782, Thomas July 17 th 1785, Daniel August 12 th 1787, Job, June 11 th 1789, Jane, June 15 th 1791, Comfort March 7 th 1793, William March 15 th 1795, Catherine April 12 th 1797, Betsy April 15 th 1799, Richard March 8 th 1801, and Polly October 9 th 1803 — This is the best evidence I can get to show the marriage, you have the affidavits of Jonathan Kelley and Mrs. Austin in the case I have no doubts of the correctness of their testimony This case has been before you nearly five years and now a decision is wanted immediately directed to me at Gilford P.

I herewith transmit to you the declaration of Catharine Leavitt, formerly the widow of Thomas Frohback a soldier of the Revolution. The claimant does not seem to have known any of the names of officers she was under and she does not of any firing who was in the service with him. As you are in your profession the war records of the State of New Hampshire you must examine them thoroughly and if you find the name of Thomas Frohback on the same no doubt it will be the same that is named in the claimants declaration, as he was a native of England who came to the United States a few years before the war commenced in 1775 probably his name is the only one on the records by the name of Frohback. It is requested that you return me an answer to Gilford P. Office as soon as may be.

*The information concerning the issuance of warrants carded on this form is found in volumes 2 to 4 of "Land Warrants Issued Prior to 1800" which are registers of bounty land warrants issued to non-commissioned officers and privates under congressional resolutions of September 16, 1776, and subsequent dates. Other records relative to the applications for warrants appear to have been destroyed in the War Department fire of November 9, 1800.
